![]() Thanks to Lindsey at MBA for sending me this to review. Ask everyone to give you vouchers for birthday and Christmas and save up for one. It’s fair to say I’m besotted with it and it’s one of the best kitchen gadgets I’ve ever used. It’s hardly the budget option but it really does feel like a Rolls Royce gadget and I can see it lasting for years (there is a generous 25 year warranty on the motor). What are the downsides? I’d like to have variable speed on the mixing it goes full whack (and scarily fast, but reasonably quietly) and comes with a pulse function, from time to time I’d prefer to use a slower speed. That said water does get into the grip and I’ve no idea how to get it out of there, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem. It also cleans up as well as any other device of this nature it is dishwasher-happy but I’d rather not put it in there to keep it as pristine as long as possible. The weight keeps the gadget firmly on the counter, it’s not walking anywhere. Biscuit crumbs for cheesecake bases come out like fine dust. Pastry comes out the smoothest I’ve ever made it, all plasticine-soft. I’ve road tested it on a whole bunch of different things: it’s taken on coleslaw, short pastry, whipping cream, cookies, whisking eggs, making onion and garlic puree, spice mixes… it’s made swift work of the lot. The mixer also keeps a timer going as you use it so you can clock how long it’s been running. The hopper is huge (14cm!) you can fit a couple of potatoes widthways in it. The lid has a rubber seal so it really shuts fast. Inside the chopping bowl itself is a smaller bowl you can use for working with smaller amounts of ingredients. One of my favourite gadgets is a chipper which turns potatoes into cute curved chips. plus a little spatula for scraping out and a cute brush for cleaning. ![]() It comes with a battery of chopping blades and attachments in their own neat box: grating blades, adjustable slicers, whisks, double choppers etc. It does also weigh a ton which is extremely useful when in operation but you need to know it takes effort to get it out of the cupboard.Īs with many top-end gadgets, it’s the details that show you how well-crafted it is. If you like your kitchen toys to have a feminine edge this is not for you. ![]() Finished in brushed aluminium and dark greys, heavy as hell and packed with mean looking accessories, this is not your Nan’s Moulinex. Spud said: “it is a boy’s toy, isn’t it?” and she’s right. The Kitchen Wizz Pro is the new bad boy in town.Īnd “bad boy” is somewhat appropriate as I unboxed it from it’s Heston-heavy packaging Mrs. My beloved Kenwood Prospero has been boxed up and relegated. This one has invaded my kitchen to the point where I’ve put others away in the loft. You know how some kitchen gadgets get used once, and even if you like them you’ll shuffle them away to a back cupboard? Or give them away? That’s not the case with this one. But for this gadget I’m willing to make an exception. I’d run out of things to say too quickly. You may have noticed I rarely do full-on review posts like this. ![]()
